$2,475,000.00                                                       Dated as of
                                                                 April 17, 2001

     1. INDEBTEDNESS. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, INTERVISUAL BOOKS,
INC., a California corporation ("IBI"), and FFM ACQUISITION CORP., a California
corporation ("FFM") (hereinafter IBI and FFM are collectively referred to as
"Maker"), jointly and severally promise to pay to U.S. BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, FORMERLY KNOWN AS SANTA MONICA BANK (hereinafter referred to as
"Bank"), or order, at 2450 Colorado Boulevard, Suite 4000 West, Santa Monica,
California 90404-3515 or at such other place as may be designated in writing by
the holder of this Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (hereinafter
referred to as this "Note"), the principal sum of Two Million Four Hundred
Seventy Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,475,000.00), or such lesser amount
as may be outstanding from time to time, together with interest accrued thereon.
This Note evidences a loan made by Bank to Maker pursuant to that certain Loan
and Security Agreement, dated as of May 12, 1999, between Bank and Maker, as
amended from time to time (the "Loan Agreement").

     2. INTEREST. Commencing on the date hereof, the unpaid principal balance of
this Note shall bear interest at a rate four (4) percentage points in excess of
the prime rate of interest (the highest variable rate of interest, per annum,
published daily as the "prime rate" in the Money Rates Section of the Western
Edition of the Wall Street Journal -- hereinafter referred to as the "Prime
Rate"). In the event that such a rate is no longer published, then the "Prime
Rate" shall mean the variable rate of interest, per annum, most recently
announced by Bank at its office in Santa Monica, as its "prime rate", with the
understanding that Bank's "prime rate" is one of its base rates and serves as a
basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for loans making
reference thereto and may not be the lowest of Bank's base rates). In the event
that any installment required pursuant to Section 3 of this Note is not paid
when due, or any other default occurs under the terms of this Note, and without
affecting any of Bank's rights and remedies provided herein, the unpaid
principal balance of this Note shall thereafter bear interest at a rate nine (9)
percentage points above the Prime Rate. In the event that the Prime Rate is,
from time to time hereafter, changed, adjustments in the rate of interest
payable hereunder shall be made as of 12:01 A.M. on the effective date of the
change in the Prime Rate. Interest chargeable hereunder shall be calculated on
the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for actual days elapsed.

     3. PAYMENT. Principal and interest shall be due and payable on the dates
and in the manner as follows:

          a. Commencing on the first (1st) day of May, 2001, and continuing on
the same day of each and every calendar month thereafter, Maker shall make
monthly payments of interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance hereof;

          b. Commencing on the first (1st) day of May, 2001, and continuing on
the same day of each and every calendar month thereafter, Maker shall make
monthly payments of principal equal to $15,000.00 each;

          c. On or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day of June, 2001, Maker shall
make one or more payments of principal totaling $225,000.00;

          d. On the thirtieth (30th) day of June, 2002, Maker shall make payment
in full of the unpaid principal balance hereof remaining unpaid on such date,
together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder.

     4. PREPAYMENT. Maker may prepay all or part of the principal balance due
under this Note, without premium or penalty. With each prepayment Maker shall
also pay the interest accrued on the principal amount being prepaid to the date
of such prepayment. So long as not event of default shall have occurred under
the Loan Agreement, Maker may request advances from Bank following the
prepayment of any amounts hereunder.

     5. COMPOUND INTEREST. Interest not paid when due may be added to the unpaid
principal balance hereof and shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as
principal. All payments hereunder are to be applied first to the payment of
accrued interest and the balance remaining applied to the payment of principal.
All principal and interest due hereunder is payable in lawful money of the
United States of America.

     6. LATE CHARGE. If a payment of principal or interest is ten (10) days or
more late, Maker will be charged five percent (5.00%) of the amount of such
payment. The late charge payable by Maker hereunder is in addition to, and not
in lieu of, all other rights and remedies of Bank.

     7. WAIVERS. Maker, for itself, its legal representatives, successors and
assigns, expressly waives presentment, protest, demand, notice of dishonor,
notice of nonpayment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, presentment for the
purpose of accelerating maturity, and diligence in collection, and consents that
Bank may extend the time for payment or otherwise modify the terms of payment of
any part or the whole of the debt evidenced hereby. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Maker waives the statute of limitations in any action brought
by Bank in connection with this Note.

     8. ACCELERATION. IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY
EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THE TERMS OR CONDITIONS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THEN THE
UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS NOTE, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON,
SHALL THEREUPON BE IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER
HEREOF, WITHOUT PRESENTMENT, DEMAND, PROTEST OR NOTICE OF PROTEST OF ANY KIND,
ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED.

reasonable attorneys' fees and paralegals' fees (including allocated costs for
in-house legal services provided and attorneys' and paralegals' fees in all

brought. This Note and all transactions hereunder and/or evidenced hereby shall
be governed by, construed under and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
